Oral care toolkit to prevent pneumonia in hospitals
What is this toolkit about?
This toolkit serves as a ready-to-use resource on how to promote and provide oral care to hospitalized patients. Some evidence suggests these interventions can reduce a patient’s risk of developing nonventilator health care-acquired pneumonia (NV-HAP).
How should I use this toolkit?
Use the resources provided before, during and after a hospital visit to educate team members and patients on the best quality oral care practices and the potential role of oral care in preventing NV-HAP and increasing overall good health.
Learn more and access the toolkit on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
